9.5 Operation manual
9.5.1 Daily routine checks before starting
1. Oil Level Control (ideal level: 2/3 of maximum).
ATTENTION! OIL PRESSURE CONTROL!
True, the diesel motor automatically switches off when there is
a lack of oil, but it is very damaging for the motor, if the oil level
drops to the lowest limit. Air can be sucked in suddenly when
the boat rocks in heavy seas, if the oil level is at a minimum.
This affects the grease in the bearings. It is therefore neces-
sary to check the oil level daily before initially running the
generator. The oil level must be topped up to the 2/3 of maxi-
mum level, if the level drops min. mark.
2. State of cooling water.
The external compensation tank should be filled up to a 1/3 level of in a cold state. It is very important that large
expansion area remains above the cooling water level.
3. Open sea cock for cooling water intake.(if necessary)
For safety reasons, the seacock should be closed after the generator is switched off for a longer time. It should
be re-opened before starting the generator.
4. Check raw water filter.
The raw water filter must be regularly checked and cleaned. The impeller fatigue increases, if residual affects the
raw water intake.
5. Check all hose connections and hose clamps are leakage.
Leaks at hose connections must be immediately repaired, especially the raw water impeller pump. It is certainly
possible that the raw water impeller pump will produce leaks, depending upon the situation. (This can be caused
